Smart Buy: Joie Tamila Tan Leather Jacket

May 10, 2016

Even though it’s finally starting to warm up, it’s still not quite no-jacket weather. While the parka is overkill, a sleeveless or short-sleeve jacket (or even a long sleeve one) really isn’t enough rn. Plus, come summer, my office is always FREEZING, so even if I’m sweating in a sleeveless top on the way to work, as soon as I get in, I want to have a cute jacket to fight the arctic AC freeze. While I recently invested in the black leather moto jacket I had been coveting for weeks and I wear my Helmut Lang black boyfriend blazer All. The. Time. , come spring/summer, wearing a black jacket everyday feels slightly depressing. Which is why this tan leather jacket is such a steal. It’s perfect for keeping you warm on chilly spring days and will look just as good over a floral dress as it will with jeans and a button-up or striped shirt on weekends. Plus, it’s perfect for leaving at the office in summer – I love how it looks with a crisp white dress and it makes a simple LBD feel far more summery. This tan one from Joie is such nice, soft leather and will last you forever. It would be a fair splurge at it’s regular of $998, but the fact that it’s on sale for under $400 makes it a smart buy and the kind of worth-the-splurge find that also makes you feel like you scored a huge bargain, which really is the best type of splurge in my book.
